Broken Steel to fix Fallout 3 problems in May

Broken Steel, the third downloadable expansion for Bethesda’s open-world RPG Fallout 3, is set to hit the download pipes on May 5, bringing with it the ability to keep playing the game after finishing the main quest.{ad}

The biggest expansion so far, Broken Steel adds a main quest roughly four to five hours in length, but it has garnered more headlines for fixing the original game’s somewhat “broken” ending. In addition to letting players continue to explore the world, the level cap has been raised from 20 to 30. Expectedly, new perks and high-level items accompany the new ranks.

Moreover, much of the Capital Wasteland will receive a going-over with new content geared toward attaining higher levels. Players can expect to come across places such as Adam’s Air Force Base, Presidential Tunnels under the White House, and perks like “Puppies!”

You know, its a terrible shame the PS3 gets none of these updates or patches to a wonderful game such as Fallout. Terrible shame.

Finally! After Anchorage – which was a little dire in length, difficulty and execution – came The Pitt, which had me rabid with the old Fallout Fever again. However, while longer, better and well just better than Anchorage, it was still over too soon and just got my appetite going. Hopefully, Steel will remedy all this and satisfy my longing. (At least the level cap has properly gone.) I used one of the many add-ons that enabled continuation after the end of the main quest and, while it worked, everyone I knew suddenly treat me like a stranger again! Hope that’s not the case here.

@Rae Lucas The shame is that you bought a PS3 instead of an Xbox. GTA IV, Fallout 3, and more to come with exclusive Xbox Live only content. How’s PSN treating you???
